It is assumed that the pickup value of the 7SJ62/64 corresponds to half the knee-point voltage of the current
transformers. In the balanced case results

that is 27 × rated current or 21.6 kA primary.
Sensitivity with High-impedance Protection
The voltage present at the CT set is forwarded to the protective relay across a series resistor R as proportional
current for evaluation. The following considerations are relevant for dimensioning the resistor:
As already mentioned, it is desired that the high-impedance protection should pick up at half the knee-point
voltage of the CT's. The resistor R can calculated on this basis.
Since the device measures the current flowing through the resistor, resistor and measuring input of the device
must be connected in series. Since, furthermore, the resistance shall be high-resistance (condition: R >> 2R
a2
+
R
i2
, as mentioned above), the inherent resistance of the measuring input can be neglected. The resistance is
then calculated from the pickup current Ι

and half the knee-point voltage:
